Is it normal to have to have everything i do be equal?

For instance if I'm walking and I step on a blue tile with one foot I feel like I have to step on a blue tile with my other foot. If I touch something cold with one hand I have to touch it with the other. Am I OCD or something?!

  • I do it. If i step on a crack with my right foot my left foot immediately has to do it. If i take a step with my left foot and it isn't on a crack, then i have to put my left foot on a crack two times to make up for it. I don't know.

    I am the same way! I even have to have equal amounts of food on the left and right side of my mouth! When I walk if I step on a crack or a shadow or a line of some kind with one foot, I have to do the same with the other foot!

    I would call it CDO. I prefer things to be alphabetized.

  • Dude, I used to be just like that! Good thing I grew out of it. Like, if I touched a crack with my toe once.. I'd have to touch it again with the same toe, so that I'd be even.. x.x
    It would feel weird if I didn't... lol

    Are you really looking for a diagnosis on the web? There is nothing cool about OCD. Well except people with OCD ha e really clean houses. If your house is a mess than I would say that you do not have OCD. If your life is under control than no I wouldn't worry too much

    I accidentally voted no but I meant yes it is normal. I am like that too.. When I get one hand wet even if it's just one hand dirty, i can't stand not getting the other one wet also.. I also feel bad for things like if I were to throw something away or if chose one thing over another.

    Yeah that happens to me. Like if I itch one side I have to itch the opposite side. J don't think it's OCD unless it's controlling your life.

    Yup, OCD. See a doc, although it doesn't sound like it's impairing your lifestyle...

    Maybe you just prefer things to be balanced. I am the same way too. I can totally understand the hand thing. I think you are probably normal. We all do silly little things and think silly things.
